Chapter 844
"Don't dare," the queen mother suddenly raised her voice, staring at the old eunuch, her voice was full of impatience, and said: "Why don't you dare, relying on the emperor's backing, even the Ai family dare not give it."

The Queen Mother sternly shouted, the old eunuch was so startled that he fell on the ground and said repeatedly: "The Queen Mother calms down, the Queen Mother calms down."

He broke out in a cold sweat. I'm afraid that today's queen mother won't be able to let him go so easily. If he can't explain something, he may have to confess his life here.

After thinking about it, the old eunuch had some calculations in his mind. He rolled his eyes, looked up at the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I can't guess what the emperor is thinking."

The Empress Dowager said meaningfully, squinted her eyes, looked at the old eunuch, and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old eunuch swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the queen mother, and said: "The emperor's thoughts, the old slave dare not talk nonsense, just listen to the emperor's wishes, and he will die in the future. The princes are fighting for the throne, so it seems that there is a will."

The queen mother was silent, looking at the old eunuch, and after a long time, she asked: "You mean that the emperor really left a will?"

The old eunuch hesitated for a while, but still nodded, and said: "I'm afraid, the emperor told Master Ling about this matter, and the old slave heard some fragments in the outer hall."

The empress dowager's fingers tightened instantly, it seemed that what Ling Su said was true, the emperor really left a will, and the will did not seem to be in the hands of the old eunuch.

Looking at the old eunuch, the queen mother still had doubts in her heart, and said, "Do you know where the emperor put the edict?"

The old eunuch quickly shook his head and said, "I really don't know where the edict is."

How could the Empress Dowager believe it? She looked at the old eunuch with doubts in her eyes, and said, "The Emperor trusts you so much, why didn't he tell you?"

Hearing the words, the old eunuch sighed and said: "Queen, you also know that the emperor trusts the old slave, not only the queen mother, everyone knows, because of this, the emperor will not tell the old slave."

"Why?" The queen mother was stunned by the words of the old eunuch, and asked in confusion.

The old eunuch looked at the queen mother, with a bit of distress on his face, and said: "Everyone knows that the emperor trusts the old slave, and naturally there are people who, like the queen mother, suspect that the emperor will tell the old slave the location of the will. It's the old slave who doesn't want to say it. Some people will offer conditions to exchange with the old slave. No one can be ruthless. Who can guarantee that the old slave has no weaknesses? The emperor was worried that the old slave would not be able to bear it, so he deliberately refused The place told the old slave that on the one hand, it was to protect the edict, and on the other hand, it was also to prevent the old slave from being embarrassed."

After the old eunuch finished speaking, there were tears in his eyes. It didn't look like he was lying. When he said that, the Queen Mother felt a little relieved. This is indeed something the emperor would do. The emperor is so suspicious, and he will definitely consider these things .

Seeing the terrified look of the old eunuch, the queen mother sighed and said, "Forget it, the Ai family believes you, so get up."

The old eunuch got up from the ground, he lowered his head slightly, at an angle that the queen mother could not see, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there were a few rays of light in his eyes.

He said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the emperor seems to favor the thirteenth prince very much, this is just the old slave's guess."

It's a guess, but it's not true, the queen mother understood what the old eunuch meant, she nodded, smiled and said to the old eunuch: "The Ai family knows."

Seeing that the queen mother understood what he meant, the old eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The queen mother is like duckweed in the palace, and this old slave is also cherishing his life."

The queen mother looked at the old eunuch with a respectful expression on his face. Looking at the queen mother, he seemed to be softened. The corners of the queen mother's mouth curled up, looking at him and said: "The Ai family has always kept only those who are useful to the Ai family, do you understand? ?”

The old eunuch nodded quickly and said, "This old slave understands."

The Empress Dowager put the old eunuch back, and he quickly walked towards Qingquan Palace with a look of anxiety on his face. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after arriving behind Qingquan Palace.

Looking back, seeing no one following, the old eunuch had a smile on his face, and there was a bit of calculation in his eyes.

Shaking his robe, the old eunuch no longer had the slightest trace of tension in his eyes, and walked into the hall with a relaxed expression.

In Qianwei Mansion, Ling Su was lying on a soft couch, looking at the person sitting opposite, who was supposed to be Duanmu Ze who had left the imperial capital.

Duan Muze sat there leisurely, poured himself a glass of wine, then looked at Ling Su, and said with a smile: "I thought the Queen Mother would let you go after peeling off a layer of skin."

Ling Su used his hands as a pillow, half-closed his eyes, and said in a playful tone: "The Empress Dowager just wants to use me as a knife and kill a chicken for the monkeys to see. It's a pity that I have guessed that she would do this a long time ago. Take precautions."

Duan Muze chuckled lightly, and said, "The queen mother let you go, who do you think she will have the surgery on next?"

Ling Su pursed the corners of his lips, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Duanmuze clicked his tongue twice, and said: "You have brought disaster to Eunuch Li, if he knows, he will definitely hate you to death."

Hearing this, Ling Su opened his eyes, and said with indifference on his face: "Hate me? Why? Even if I don't say anything, the Queen Mother will still look for him, so what's the matter with me?"

He seemed to mean that everything was the old eunuch's own fault, and his arrogant attitude was outrageous.

But Duan Muze still smiled lightly, and said: "You are so sure that the emperor left a will, if the queen mother finds out that the emperor did not leave a will at all, then you will be miserable."

Ling Su listened, and said even more indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether the emperor left a legacy or not. After all, it's not the queen mother who is looking for the legacy. Suspicion will come to my head."

"It's true, if you release the news of the will, some people will naturally get confused," Duan Muze said with a smile, looking at Ling Su.

Ling Su also smiled, and said, "You mean the prince?"

Duan Muze nodded, looked at Ling Su, and said: "Although the crown prince is the crown prince, the emperor has treated him calmly for so many years, and it is very likely that he will not pass on the throne to him. It is reasonable for him to be anxious.

Ling Su suddenly sighed, and said, "Sometimes, some people are just mediocre."

He was mocking the prince for thinking too much, but only when he is in his position can he understand how much pressure that position puts on him, Ling Su will never understand.

Duan Muze just smiled, lowered his eyes, and stopped talking.
